Waiting required more than just patient

It's pretty much like fishing, but it definitely require more than just patient.

If you are fishing in a pond that definitely have no fish in it, then there's no point to talk about patient.

Normally we wait because we don't have control over something. We wait for the share market price to up because we cant control it. We wait for the last day in the office because we cant just quit immediately after resign.

Sometime we wait but we have control. For example, we wait for the share market price to drop to go in so that we can get more quantity. We can do it now but we don't because we wanted more.

When we waiting for something that have uncertain outcome, it required some luck. Good example is like waiting for the announcement of lottery result.

When we waiting for something that's certain, it required patient.

After all, I think waiting is good; It's like taking a rest.
When you are in a long journey, why not slow down yourself, or even stop awhile at the roadside. Then you can take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery around you and who knows you might discover something special.
I have already choose my path years ago. I dunno how will it lead me to my destiny, I have little control over it, everything in future is dynamic and uncertain for me. However, walking this path have makes me stronger after each obstacle that I go through.

When think back, why I choose the path while others don't? I believe it's the stability that they can't afford to loose. For a person like me where I have nothing more to loose; then there's isn't anything that can stop me.

Uncertain .. yes! little control ... no!

The thing is you choose this path, thus you are in full control. However as you said "walking this path have makes me stronger after each obstacle that I go through.", and that is great! And that is adventure!

"TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost (1874–1963)
